WOW!!! I took a screenshot on my phone when there was 1h & 50 mins to go and the bid was $5,025. I thought to myself that it will most likely sell for a bit more. Boy was I ever wrong!!! This is the beauty of selling on GB when two guys get into a classic bidding war and common sense is thrown in the trash. Now if they did not read the description VERY carefully they may have thought they were buying two rifles.

Michael,
I saw that, and commented on it in another post concerning plummeting values.

Make me feel real good about the 1894 short rifle I bought a few weeks ago.

Though the price paid could have bought two of them, even my quick scan of the description made it clear the .32 was shown for purposes of comparison only; though why the seller would have thought that important is a mystery. Evidently he loves using his camera.
Someone’s Money Laundry scheme!
Or a shill bidder.

That’s a good price. Every sellers dream. I have 2 1892 short rifles and an 1894 that I would throw in for that price.

I hope so–since the buyer has more money than brains, it’s good for the economy to put some of his dough back into circulation.
Wow: I have a nice mod’ 94 #602387, a 20″ rif. that I was trying to get $3,500.00 for, I may have to re-think that. lol

This is what one calls an extreme outlier. Shill bidders and the sensation of bidding on Gunbroker cause some to bid up a gun many times what it’s actually worth.
